Dave Cutler was the project leader for RSX-11M, which was an adaptation of the earlier RSX-11D for a smaller memory footprint. Principles first tried in RSX-11M later appeared in DEC's VMS. Microsoft's Windows NT system is a distant descendent of RSX-11M but is more directly descended from an object-oriented operating system Cutler developed for a RISC processor (PRISM) which was never released. This lineage is made clear in Cutler's foreword to Inside Windows NT, quoted on Neil Rieck's "Windows-NT" is "VMS re-implemented" page. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Real-time operating system: A Real Time Operating System (RTOS) is an operating system that has been developed for real-time applications. It is typically used for embedded applications, such as mobile telephones, industrial robots, or scientific research equipment.... PDP-11: The PDP-11 was a 16-bit minicomputer sold by Digital Equipment Corp. in the 1970s and 1980s. The PDP-11 was a successor to DEC's PDP-8 computer in the PDP series of computers. It had several uniquely innovative features, and was easier to program because it had a highly-orthogonal instruction set w... Digital Equipment Corporation: Digital Equipment Corporation was a pioneering company in the American computer industry. They are generally referred to within the computing industry as DEC. (This acronym was once officially used by DEC itself, but later discarded.) .They were later acquired by Compaq, which subsequently merged wi... | ~ Table of Content ~
